I am here

I am here, I am here, I am here, 2018-2021. An installation of DIY location dots which recorded time spent off-line, and the wordless thoughts, sensations and feelings of remembered spaces which are not captured in digital records of my travels. The first piece was produced during a month-long residency at Arteles Creative Centre in Finland; this became the template for making other location dots as travel became more difficult due to fire, hail storms and the COVID-19 pandemic from 2019 to 2021. The spiralling line mimicked the spiralling maze-like patterns marked out on ancient church floors as alternatives for people who could not travel to complete pilgrimages. It produced a thick carpet of memories and bodily experiences, which could be also rolled up and transported.
